The colleagues didn't suspect anything, and after the meal they all returned to the office.

As soon as I entered, I saw Kelly was already in the office.

Kelly looked straight at Lu Qiuyue, looking past the others.

"What is your relationship with Mr. Xie?"

Lu Qiyue's smile froze for a moment, and she pretended to be confused and asked, "Aren't we just superiors and subordinates?"

Kelly sneered, "Stop lying. Someone took a picture of you two. You got into Mr. Xie's car."

Afraid that people wouldn't believe her, Kelly took out the photo and held it high.

After seeing the photo clearly, Lu Qiuyue's smile disappeared. She frowned and looked at Kelly seriously.

"This is my privacy, you took a sneak shot?"

Seeing that she was not afraid and wanted to bite her back, Kelly's eyes became even angrier and her facial features became somewhat ferocious.

"I'm not interested in taking pictures of you. You were recruited by Mr. Xie without going through the HR process. And your salary is much higher than ours. You are just someone who got in through the backdoor. Why are you trying to be so fancy in front of us?"

"Kelly." Wen Jin looked at Kelly with dissatisfaction, "No matter what connection she had to get in, everyone has seen her work ability. Even if she just goes through an interview, she will become our colleague."

Ada followed with a roll of her eyes.

"I think some people are just jealous. He has a good relationship with Mr. Xie, but she failed to express her love and was put on Mr. Xie's blacklist. She can't set foot in the office again. She must be feeling unbalanced."

"So the family member Mr. Xie was talking about today is Qiuyue. Qiuyue, are you and Mr. Xie a relative?" Zhu Momo asked curiously.

Kelly yelled.

She looked at everyone with disdain, "Don't think too much, she is just Mr. Xie's mistress, and Mr. Xie doesn't like this woman at all."

When the word "mistress" was mentioned, the expressions of the others changed.

Ada protected Lu Qiuyue behind her and said dissatisfiedly: "Kelly, do you have any evidence?"

Kelly sneered, "You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Lu Qiuyue is Lu Mingchang's sister, the illegitimate daughter of President Lu."

"I'm not." Lu Qiuyue immediately retorted.

The rumors about Zhou's company came back to her again, and Lu Qiuyue subconsciously didn't want these people to misunderstand her.

She shook her head, "I'm not a illegitimate daughter."

"Ha! Everyone knows your relationship with the Lu family. Do you call Mr. Lu dad?" Kelly asked.

"He is my adoptive father. They adopted me after my parents passed away, and the adoption certificate is still there." Lu Qiuyue said seriously.

"Ha ha……"

Kelly rolled her eyes.

She produced another piece of evidence, which were some posts on Tieba when she was bullied at school.

"Someone broke the news a long time ago that you are the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family. What a bullshit adoption certificate. It's just a cover-up by the Lu couple to deceive the public."

These evidences are not false. The eyes of those who were close to Lu Qiuyue before changed, and they were more or less contemptuous.

Ada looked at Lu Qiuyue disappointedly.

"Are you and Mr. Xie really in a relationship of sponsorship?"

"No."

Lu Qiuyue stared at Ada nervously.

Although Ada had a brief hostility towards her at first, she knew very well that Ada was just worried that she was just a vase.

The atmosphere suddenly became silent.

Xu Tao walked in and noticed that the atmosphere was not right. He asked in confusion: "What are you doing here?"

Kelly looked at Xu Tao seriously and said, "We don't want to stay with people with connections. Xu Tao, go and tell Ms. Xie to go back and stay here."

Xu Tao frowned and stared at Kelly seriously for a while.

"If you have any problem with her, then go and talk to Mr. Xie yourself."

After saying that, Xu Tao glanced at the others.

"What are you all standing there for? You don't have to go to work, right?"

Seeing that he was angry, everyone else left.

Xu Tao looked at Lu Qiyue and saw that she looked unhappy. He whispered, "Do you want to tell Mr. Xie?"

"No need." She forced a very forced smile, "I'm here to work, not to have some meaningless quarrel."

She didn't speak to Xu Tao anymore and went straight back to her seat.

Looking at Lu Qiuyue who seemed to be out of the matter, Xu Tao recalled what he had investigated.

Not allowing Lu Qiuyue to interact with her colleagues, perhaps this is what Mr. Xie wants.

In the afternoon, Lu Qiuyue looked up from her work and went to the tea room with a cup.

The two colleagues who were chatting inside saw her coming and immediately left the tea room with a gloomy face.

That feeling of being left out came back.

But she ignored it. It wasn't the first time anyway, and money was more important than friends.

"You have such strong work ability, but why are your social skills so weak? Do you want to be a fool?" Ada's voice came from behind.

She turned back in surprise and said, "You come to talk to me, aren't you afraid that they will exclude you?"

Ada snorted disdainfully.

"I'm not interested in these things at all. If I were you, with Mr. Xie as a backer, I would just fire all these gossiping women."

Amused by her exaggerated words, Lu Qiyue explained: "You misunderstood. Mr. Xie and I are not in the relationship that Kelly said."

"A high-class lady like Ms. Xie wouldn't buy a cake for her lover. Some people are jealous, some are bored. Don't mind it. It will be fine in a few days." Ada comforted her.

Feeling a hint of kindness from Ada, Lu Qiuyue didn't feel so bad anymore.

"Thank you."

After expressing his gratitude, Lu Qiuyue returned to the office.

She hadn't finished her work yet and had no time to chat with these people.

The lights were just coming on, but Lu Qiuyue showed no intention of leaving.

Xie Chongwen, who had been waiting for her to get off work in the office, looked at the time and went downstairs expressionlessly.

Seeing that she and Xu Tao were the only ones in the office, he strode towards Lu Qiuyue.

"Not finished yet?"

Xie Chongwen's voice came from above his head, and Lu Qiuyue immediately looked up.

Seeing that it was really Xie Chongwen, she smiled and explained: "There is still a little finishing work to be done, and it will be done soon."

He picked up a document at random, took a look at it, then looked at Xu Tao.

"She also needs to do these rubbish jobs?"

Xu Tao also looked helpless.

Just as he was about to explain, Lu Qiuyue took the initiative to help him out.

"Don't scare Brother Xu, I want to do this myself, and I just started working here not long ago, I haven't been promoted yet."

"I'll make you a regular employee now, so you don't have to do these jobs anymore."

After saying that, Xie Chongwen picked up her bag, held her hand with his other hand, and strode out.

He was well aware of Lu Qiuyue's abilities, and when he let her join the company, he never thought of letting her touch these junk projects.

After getting in the car, Xie Chongwen was still very angry.

Lu Qiyue adjusted her state and comforted him with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with doing these jobs. Can't I learn more about the company?"

"You are not a fresh graduate. You don't need these things to understand the company. If you want to understand, I will teach you personally."

Xie Chongwen had a stern face, and his expression was more serious than she had ever seen him.

She suddenly remembered what Ada and the others had said today.

No wonder he was afraid of Xie Chongwen.

"Brother Chongwen, I want to take it step by step and be truly accepted by everyone." Lu Qiuyue said seriously.

Xie Chongwen held the steering wheel tightly with both hands and said nothing.
